At one point we had 30 total caterpillars and chrysalis; but the very hungry caterpillars ate my 4 milkweed plants down to nothing and wandered off. Looks like we will only collect 4 chrysalis this season, unless I go buy more milkweed plants. They seem to come with caterpillars!

The Joro Spiders have decreased in population since exploding in Georgia. But you can still find them everywhere. They are quite large. Females being the large ones and males being small in comparison. When you find a web you will see the large female in the middle. Look close and you will see several small males in the same web system. A few years ago they didn't exist in Georgia. They were imported from Asia. The first year they exploded, they covered every bush and tree. It was insane and made all the local news. Now they are still everywhere, but no where near dramatic. They come out in August and die off as it gets cold.

We have had a big drop in Hummingbird numbers last few days . I believe the migration is starting . We will be reducing the feeders and boosting the sugar content . They are usually gone here around the end of first week in October. Dan
